Dan Ryan voting to gut parks dept funding, and now calling for them to “maximize earned revenue” is a call for working class families, especially those with young children, to shoulder the cost of our parks. That’s not just bad for Portland’s future, it’s indistinguishable from GOP policy!

Ryan says he needs "real institutional change" from the Parks department before giving them more funds.
YOU WERE LITERALLY THE PARKS COMMISSIONER. YOU MADE THIS MESS. YOU COULD HAVE MADE THOSE CHANGES.

Dan Ryan's opposition is all you should need to know to support the parks measure.
God, this guy is the worst.

Love having to take a break from fun Halloween stuff with my kid to send Dan Ryan an angry email telling him parks are good actually and I don’t think we should have to beg money from the rich to fund them. Related, the bathroom at our neighborhood park has been boarded up for weeks

I’m always surprised when a big pdx parks measure is on the ballot to not see more community organizing around it. Where’s our bike loud equivalent for parks? Every fellow parent I talk to is perpetually mad so many park bathrooms are always closed, why aren’t we being louder about it?

Any other Portlander get a sketchy as hell text from out of state asking to “rsvp” for an anti-ice protest? Asking for a paper trail on protesters while the feds are calling them terrorists seems…fishy.

Any suggestions for a Mothership module that’s a good starting point? I’ll be the GM, no one in the group has played Mothership yet, looking for a really great on-boarding experience for everyone

I've been referring to the Appx N Jam submissions as "e-zines" since they're essentially single sheet pdf booklets, but friends have gently informed me it makes me sound "like a total dweeb". What's everyone else calling them: mini-adventure, e-zine, something catchier?

I’m phasing out my use of google docs (big tech can get fucked) and using a notebook for ttrpg design work is great!
My laziness and terrible handwriting is already making my rules documentation way more concise and I’m working much faster not messing around with document layout and just writing

by far my favorite insane Oregon policy is our tax kicker. Picture this: a state with underfunded infrastructure and schools and a homeless crisis with dogshit for resources regularly collects billions in taxes from rich people AND GIVES IT BACK every two years
